KILLED BY ATlMi'sHOT.
[ CONTINUED. ]
"Mr. POWCL'J , " paid the man ofsclonco ,
dropping his glass , "tho shot was fired
from the room In the fourth story in the
oaat end of that building , It euroly must
have bocn an ascidont , for tha walls of
that intervening houao which they are
building out there obstruct the vlow bo-
twcon that window and the ono below us ,
BO tint it wai linpoasiblo , even if any ono
desired to kill Mr. Vandyke , for him to
take aim , and that in tlio night , too ,
while at the same time , in order to roach
this distance , the gun must liavo pointed
up at an angle tbnt would can1/ the shot
itself far above the top of that now honec.
It was sorely a random shot fii'-id through
that squsra cut In the but ttop why
that cut through the window ? They nay
n week ago thoao walls had not gone up
high onongh to close the viow. Could it
bo ha ! incredible yet hnpoislble. "
The learned gentleman was evidently
talking to himself , and not to the ignor
ant men who otooi bcatdo him on the
roof. Ho silently reflected for n minute
before addressing them again.
"Air. Powcrj"sald ho at last , wo had
batter go at once to that room , I am In
clined to think we may got tha truth
thoro. "
In thirty minutes they wcro all three
at the main unfranro of the building.
They found sitting in the door a man
with a woodou log who atjd m door-
koorjcr. To their inquiries he promptly
responded that the fouth-story room , In
the east end , woa rented by Adolpho
Werner , a Swiss.
This announcement brought simultane
ous exclamations from all , Ho was the
servant who had left Vandyke a month
before , and in whoso place Began now
w a.
Asking if Werner was at home , they
learned that ho had gone away early ia
the morning carrying n valise in his hand.
His rdnt was paid for a month in advance
and he bad left his key with the janitor ,
saying that he might como bick in a day
or two , or that ho might not came at all.
In the latter case ho said the agent should
at then end of the month , unlock and
tike possession of his room ,
Having got the key they monnted to
tbo fourth story and traversed a long dark
pasjage to the cast end. They stood be-
turo the door of that mysterious chamber ,
whoso impenetrable dtrkuees held the
secret of Henry Vandyke's murdor. They
opened and onterad. A dim light frmi
, ho corridor followed them into thoapar-
mcnt , enabling thorn to BOO that thcra
wera three heavily curtained window * ,
; wo looking cast and ono south , tovaid
Vandyke's residence. Officer Powera
: ere the curia'n ' from ono of the east
windows and lot in a full flood of day
light. There wcrj two chairs , and in
ono corner a emill oot with scint cover.
By OLO window was a long , narrow table
or bench , upon which wcra lying a
number" of worlnnins tools files , ham
mers , pliers , bits of Iron and fragments of
wire , with a small vice ecrowed on io ons
end. Near the middle of the room was a
strong wooden frame firmly fastened to
the floor with tcrows ; it was about the
height of n table. Acrcsi it lay a largo
bolu of heavy old carpeting , not round ,
but flattened on the sides. It was about
six foot long and two feet in depth and
width. It was noticing level , but had
Its soath end tilted considerably above ita
north end. Conspicuously on this bile
lay a largo white pador envelope. It waa
addressed to the "Chief of Police. "
The profosjor saw it first , and"grasp
ing ezclalmad :
"Ah ! hera is aomo'hing that will re
veal the secret. "
Seating himself , ho tora out the con
tent * , a number of closely written sheet ]
of paper , and Powers and Jones staod by
his aide while ha raad the following con
fession of Adolpho Werner. :
Monsieur , I write thla to save any in
nocent persons who may bo charged with
thoj death of Henry Vandyke. I killed
him. Ten minutes ago the fatal mess
enger aped from mo io him sped In
three seconds.
Ah monsieur ! ho did to ma a horrible
crime. Mon Dlou ! ho killed my Matie ,
my wife , My angel ! Not the drug which
ho gave her klllnl. No , but the shame
horrible ! My Marie , my lost , lost
Marie ! Monsieur , do you see this paper ?
I have neb wept till now. My nerves
have been steel and my hoirt adamant.
But he la do&d , and now I weep for
Marie.
Behold the sicry , I was the most
skilled workman employed la a manufac
tory of fire-arms in my native country , I
became profoundly acquainted with the
rltle in its utmost ctpabllltlea. I even
made some Important improvements in
long.rango guns. Miifcrtuno befell us
thoro. Not my fault , not hers , though
her beauty , yet , her beauty was the in
nocent cause. Wo sacrificed ourprnparty ,
parted with the little cottage where we
lived in the lovllcst valley of the Alps ,
and came hither. We struggled for two
yean In gnat poverty ; until ho , Henry
Vandyke , found uu among the poorest of
his tenants. He timplnyed mo as a ser
vant. I was glad to serve for w gei , and
WM once more happy. I diil not lodge
in his honso , but in hired ap&rlmcn
with Matlo. 1 wont to my service oarlj
and c mo Iftto. Ono day ho enticet
Marie fnm hf r homo by on unheard o
deception.
It was an unspeakable cr mo. In tw
weeks my anRel She is with th
good saints above.
My resolution wai at once t.ilton , am
I began to dotno the plan , But , nion
sieur , ono thing troubled mo. Every nigh
Marie como and stood by my bed. She
was very aid , and I thought , I feared she
disapproved , though she did not speak
It troubled mo , 1 say , and in the night 1
faltend ; but when the day cams my pur
peso came again.
I had often obsarved , frim the window
of his sleeping-room , thla tall building
nearly a inllo distant. I ranted thu
npirttnent.tl next wont to an importer o
fire-arms and tought for a rill3 mdo ( n
my own country. I found ono of the
largest size that had the name of my olc
employe r on it , 1 lnvo no doubt I am
certain my own hands have wrought on
ft ; it has my maik. I bought a suitable
telescope , and having fitted it with across
of sp'dor lines , I attached It to tlio rillo ,
as tlio surf at moans of taking far am
accurate aim. I made twonty-fivo car
trlgoa with the greatest care. I made
the leaden ballots very long and com
pressed them in a nicely finished mold
so as to gtvo them an increased and unl
form density. The poidor in everyone
ono was gauged to a perfect equality o
weight.
It was necessary next to find tlia oxacl
distance from the room to hlsroom. Be
fore undertaking it I procured a quiet
discharge from his sorvlca. There WAS
no quancl , no anger on cither pirt.
Tlion at night , with a red light rod , BO
that I might distinguish it from others
placed in the window of this room to
guide mo 1 carefully walked at anatura'
pace from the wall under this window. ]
repeated this for several nighta. My
paces from ono wall to the other , witf
little variation in the results , averaged
1614. By walking 100 measured yards ,
and counting the steps , which numbcrci
125 and one-third over , I learned that the
Bxact distance from his window to mine
Is 1208 yards. And three yards from my
window to the centre of my room , and
two yards from his window to the contra
of hla bed and the whole is 1213 yards ,
A very long shot , but all tha but tor for
; hatsinoo 1 know the gun could bo rolled
on to make it. Next , taking rillo and
cartridges , I went into the country.
Finding a suitable locality , I bearded with
a farmer. I constructed a target , and
with a tape-lino measured off 1213 yardo ?
Duo might suppose that I could have dis
pousod with the tape-lino and bavo de
ipndod for potting the dlstano on stop
ping It as before. But this would not
: i&voboen sitisfactory , for In walking a
glvon distance at his natural pnso ono
Iocs not rnako the rame number of siqn
n the night as in the day. I was care-
jtl oven to take the 100 yards above men
tioned at night , nnd exactly along tbo
Ino between the two rooms.
After experimenting for several days ,
uid firing twenty rounds , I got my tole-
icopo sights so perfectly adjusted that the
aat five shots struck within an inch of
; he canter of the bulls-eye of the target.
This bnU'e-cyo was invisible at the die-
ance except through the toleEcope. It
was sufficient and 1 came back to the city
laving been absant a little moro than a
week.
I wis surprised on my return to see a
new building In process of erection ex-
ictly on the line between my room and
lonry Vandyke's room. Ita loation is
much nearer his than mine , and I eaw at
once that if "it wai to have as
many aa throe stories It would , when
completed , obstruct the vlow from my
window to his , and prevent me from tak-
ng aim at his bed. On inquiry 1 learned
hat it was to bo three stories , and that
t was going up rapidly. It be-
amo necessary to act with
tap itch or my plans would bo
rustrated. I , therefore , at onoo set
about constructing a itrong frame of
vood , firmly fastened to the floor , as you
oo it. Two doys were consumed in this
vork , while in the meantime the walls of
; ho now structure were rapidly rising. I
watched their progress with eager anx-
cty. On the third day the frame was
eady early ia the morning and my rifla
vaa placed upon it , pointing towatd the
rindow of Henry Vandyke. It rested
mtweon clamps provided for it , and
irrangodlto bo tightened epcnraly. It
now remained only to giva it the right
aim and secure it. Looking through tlio
cleecope , I eaw that the curtain of the
icdroom window had not yet been
rawn Ho had not tvtkod up.
At about 10 o'clock the curtain was
aiaod and the Bach thrown up. The
naster had gone , and Agnes , the cham-
) ermaid , Imd como to make up the
> ad and arrange the room. I
: onld BCO her distinctly , with
ler bare arms and her frow ,
y hair. She undo up ( lie bed ,
and , to my regret , placed upon It a white
over-lot. I had hoped she \ ould p'aco
n it the red coverlet which , during my
orvlco , had often been used. I saw at a
lines tbat the whlto coverlet was n. sor-
DUS difficulty , because the plastering of
ho wall , seen bsycnd the bed , was also
while , and at so treat a distance might
make the outlines of the bed very India-
inct. Had the rod coverlet boon on , the
entrust in color would have rendered it
asy for mo to fix the aim of the rifle on
ny psrt of tlio bed. I found my fears
erlfied. With long efl'jrt and draining
f my eyes it was Impossible to fix the
.1m . with that certainty which was abso-
ntely necessary for a fatal shot.
Vith any uncertainty ef the re-
ult I would not risk it. For , to ehoot
lirocgh tha window , to hit his
> ed , aye , oven ( o strike him without kill-
ng , would ba to place him forever on his
; iiard and lead him to suspect me , sinca
10 , though ho only of all living persona
cnew what csusa I had to bate , what
invocation ta kill him. No ; better give
ip this plan and try soroo other than try
and fail. I was in despair. That new
building , those intervening walls , wore
running up so fast that they would in
twenjy.four houra hide his window from
my eight , But for that there was no dlf-
icalty , boc&uso I knew tbat In two or
breo days at moat the red coverlet would
repUca the white , and then all would ba
easy. It almost distracted mo to think
hat a plan so splendid In Us conception ,
o sura jn its results , should ba doteatcd
> y thla infernal wall. 1 tore my hair ,
cursed the workmen. It seemed that
hey were madly energetic and fast In
heir work.
